Finale Revelation and Imagination Daily Devotional- 10

by David Joynt on June 15, 2021


REVELATION 2:3 | 3 I also know that you are enduring
patiently and bearing up for the sake of my name, and that you have not grown weary.

Oh, for the glorious times of inspiration and success, when there are breakthroughs and milestones of success! But so much of life together is soldiering onward, slogging along, creeping forward,      persevering.

I do not watch many games all the way through, due to time constraints. I watch the highlights. Yet, for every top ten moment, every dunk or eagle or grand slam, there are hundreds of moments running up and down the court, saving bogey, or waiting to bat. We will miss the milestones without the patient endurance, the bearing up.

What are you currently enduring?

He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.
